I liked Castle when it was almost a satire of cop shows, focused on quirky characters and bizarre crimes and the brilliant character interactions. Then it became the Tragedy of Beckett's Mother and Will Those Crazy Kids Get Together? I'd really like to see a male/female buddy cop show, not a romantic entanglement show.

Castle has no business being that involved in down and dirty police work. Serious but froofy cases, yes, terrorism no.

Hey, Castle lives! Imagine that!

Castle can do the heavy drama well on occasion, but the show is strongest with the lighter stuff. I look forward to more of Ryan and Esposito next week.

The Blacklist: this show has quite a fucking budget. Isabella Rosselini and they paid for music clearance for the Rolling Stones. WOW.

Bones - still the worst show airing at 8 pm (or 9 pm DVR watch) to have dinner while watching. Yuck.

Wasn't even eating and had to cover my eyes during that one scene. Blech! ::shudder::

I think the Bones effects crew has a competition going.

Then Somebody won Something last night.

The face peel , right?

That's the one.

Ugh, how are they going to get Beckett back to New York? (Am just at the beginning of last night's show.) I want wacky NYC murders, not Al Qaeda! Sheesh.

Also, yes, show not called Ghost and Mrs. Castle.

Also, they're going to drive to Annapolis in 20 minutes?
